SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Certain brief moments from the milestone drama TV show Breaking Bad define the series anywhere from early on to its final episode. The now-famous saga of high school chemistry turned drug lord Walt White has a certifiable repertoire of iconic scenes that are among the most celebrated in TV history.
However, Jesse's lack of information might result in a more accurate interpretation of the situation. As Walt admits to Skyler years later, he "did it for himself." To some extent, Walt was always yearning for an adventure and his diagnosis was just the excuse he needed. He soon finds that he has a taste for the adrenaline-inducing world of drug deals gone wrong.
8 Teddy Bear In Pool Season 2, Episode 13: "ABQ" Close The mangled pink teddy bear floating in the pool of the Whites' backyard is a compelling image associated with Breaking Bad. It is teased throughout season 2 before it is finally revealed that the teddy bear is among the debris from a plane crash that Walt indirectly caused when he let Jane Margolis choke to death.
6 "I'm The One Who Knocks" Season 4, Episode 6: "Cornered" Close Walt's speech where he imparts to Skyler that he is the one to be feared can be summed up by its final, haunting line. After Walt viciously states "I'm the one who knocks," Skyler is silently stunned, before taking off with Holly for the day to think things over.
Skyler's line "Someone has to protect this family from the man that protects this family" is the perfect circular illustration of the Catch-22 she is stuck in. She's particularly angry at Walt here because she knows Walter Jr. will blame her for making them return his new car. There is no winning for Skyler when it comes to Walt, and she can only do her best to minimize the damage.
However, while Saul plays a major role in Breaking Bad's multifaceted tone, he has a different moment relating to Walt's arc. Saul is generally laissez-faire about everything Walt does; Walt threatening Saul to prevent him from walking away in the season 5 premiere is an indicator of how serious things have become. Walt simply stating "We're done when I say we're done" illustrates how terrifying he has become to his colleagues and family.
